the debt ceiling is a back ward-looking vehicle to give president obama at this moment the ability to pay for bills that this congress has already incurred. and so when we talk about the notion that there's a spending problem in america, let's be accurate with what really is at issue. and the reality is many of the bills that we have already incurred that americans are forced to pay for and borrow in order to meet our obligation, these were debts incurred by the prior administration. in fact, this chart illustrates the dynamic that we find ourselves in as it relates to where we really are in america and how we got here. under the prior administration of george w. bush, we had two significant tax cuts that were not paid for in 2001 and 2003 that disproportionately benefited the wealthy and the well off. we had we had apen unjustified war in iraq that cost americans in lives and in treasure. that contributed significantly to the deficit and our need to raise and borrow additional debt. and then of course we had the collapse of the economy. it cost america by some estimates $22 trillion.
